Low-carbon Materials and Green Construction

Low-Carbon Materials and Green Construction is an international journal concerned with the materials and construction in civil engineering to cope with the challenges raised by climate change, together with resources and energy consumption, and is dedicated to the widest dissemination of high-quality original research and insights. This journal publishes creative and original research articles and review papers in the field of civil engineering within the context of a much broader multi-disciplinary scope, focusing on the spatiotemporal dynamic evolution of building performances, structural behaviours, and carbon emissions within the structure-environment symbiosis, and the related carbon emission reduction and sustainability issues. The contents cover the life cycle of civil engineering projects, which includes the stages of planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance, deconstruction, reuse and recycling for buildings and infrastructures on the earth, or even on other planets. The journal also welcomes papers on related topics covering aspects of environmental conservation, energy utilization and policy making to better promote the harmony between humans and nature.
